a small token of kindness [18th october 2022]
dawn a soothsayer, a bride of doom; filled with bruises and exploited ceremoniously with venom.
own the ruin, the plum horizon; lungs wrapped in a veil, dripping with yesterday's childhood.
compulsed crimson, a yellow sun of a blue sky; jupiter sunset and a forced fate; a smile pushed.
telescope and hope, caul and ambedo; none with breaths but held to breasts; what are they i ask you oh layperson, what are they but a wet ground, nothing without seeds that you sow.
some apples of autumn ripen in baskets, in hands of bare veins; why not then your heart, one that you allow to decay in your chest?
children of soil, of dirt and death; musk in hearts poisoned by the snakes of mind.
tongues of meat, foiled with pillows of sin; with a darkness wild, with a moon of satan.
a burning candle, a taste of soiling relief; spring is but a month, winter a mundane monster begging for everlasting love.
october ocean, free of burden; what is beneath it, let it melt into corals and pearls. not all fires reveal ashes, most reveal precious stones.
pelt intentions into blushing summer colours; into oaks that bless and bones that grow maroon flowers.
lose not sugar, die not before the meadow ripens; earth parched, but air left unclothed.
home the bones, fracture the heart as it has abandoned you; let it betray, silently, like the water of the sea that asks it, how much salt it had to swallow to become a gentler beast.
